26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive 10yo who is better known as a chaser now and was just a modest third at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark but others have more appealing profiles. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |

Has some fairly useful form on his CV but has become disappointing; returned from a break with respectable fourth in modest Worcester handicap (2m, good) in June but his 2m4f run there in July was below that level. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden hurdle winner in 2022 for Olly Murphy; recently beaten in staying handicaps won by I'm A Starman (runs earlier) at Warwick and Worcester and ran respectably in the latter when ahead of Faded Fantasy; every chance. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Still to add to April 2022's Perth maiden success for Olly Murphy (2m4f, good to soft), and this would be a bit better race than the Warwick 0-100 in which I'm A Starman beat him 31l last time. |

Has an in-and-out profile but it was her fourth win from her last six starts when scoring at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) in December; this is tougher but she's progressive and has to be respected. |

Best effort this term when second in this grade at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) on penultimate start; on last winning mark so holds a fighting chance from a handicapping perspective. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |

Well handicapped and looked booked for a return to winning ways at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) until reeled in late on; strongly considered on the back of that effort. |

Back on same mark as Kempton win in May 2024 (3m, good); likely to be all the better for his latest run (first for 290 days); interesting. |

25th Jan 2024 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |

3lb below his last winning mark but hasn't shown sufficient in two outings following more than a year out to persuade especially, notwithstanding a drop in class here; cheekpieces debuted last time are retained. |

22nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 141y Class 3 |

Very lightly raced in the last two years; pulled up on chase debut in October 2022 and below form back over hurdles when next seen late last month; tongue tied on last three starts and now also sports cheekpieces; won off this mark in April 2022 but it's hard to be that confident in a revival. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unable to justify warm favouritism when well-held fourth at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month but will appreciate this ease in grade, and the form of his breakthrough win at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) has worked out well; big player if back on song. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |

Beaten 13l into second at Taunton latest (2m7f, heavy) but still consolidated the form of his previous C&D win there (again under Jack Stenhouse) on ground closer to today's; shortlisted despite another 3lb rise. |
5/2 |

2nd 3 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Relished the step back up in trip when overhauling Ted The Thief from the last over C&D (good to soft) under Jack Stenhouse last month on just his second start over fences; today's ground (which he acts on) should place even more emphasis on stamina, which promises to suit him; gets the vote. |

Wind surgery before second and first in soft-ground handicaps in December for new yard, latterly over 3m2f at Warwick; fourth of 11 there three weeks later was creditable on form but showed that he now needs improvement; withdrawn when the ground was officially good at Bangor four weeks ago. |

A fair winning hurdler at 2m5f but he's offered little in two runs over fences this term, pulled up at Carlisle (2m4f) 24 days ago; others are much preferred. |

2nd Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

12yo who is 5-36 over hurdles, the latest win at Wincanton (3m, soft) last March off 2lb lower; needs much better than she's delivered last two starts, a start to the campaign which contrasts starkly with last term but her trainer has had recent winners. |

Last win was over 2m3f here in May of last year off 6lb higher; not quite hit the same heights this year and has been finishing his races rather tamely. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Not really firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn and has developed a tendency to finish rather weakly but comes here after two respectable 2m4f thirds this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and continues to edge down the weights. |
3/1 |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted. |
3/1 |
Verdict
The shortlist is headed by the interesting handicap debutants GOD’S OWN GETAWAY, Land Genie and Bataillon in that order of preference. The selection is particularly appealing with his form having some substance, while the second choice also remains open to further progress and the third choice should leave his Ascot effort behind. Halifax is much more exposed but his latest piece of form is solid, while Sporty Jim also can’t be dismissed.[Steve Boow]
